Thomas Müller said it bluntly: during his first 10 years as a professional, he was Team Cristiano, without hesitation. He valued the Portuguese star’s ambition, his obsession with success, and a work ethic that, as he himself admits, “is extraordinary and even better than Messi’s”. 💪
But something changed. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar was the turning point. Müller, a world champion with Germany in 2014, says that seeing Messi lift that trophy with Argentina confirmed something he already felt: the Argentine is “more elegant, more romantic, more magical” and has purer talent than anyone else he has ever seen. Today, the German who plays for Vancouver Whitecaps has no doubts: his vote goes to the No. 10. 🐐✨
His words shook social media right in the middle of the 2026 World Cup, where Messi also became the all-time top scorer in World Cup history. Team Messi or Team Cristiano? The debate is more alive than ever. 🔥
